At least they have the right numbers on them. I might have done that if I had seen them.

Should be a BCA brand A2 bearing set. I keep 8 sets of A2's on the shelf. Outer wheel bearing set for lots of GM cars/trucks.

Bingo, 6 more just like the others.

Ha,LOL figgered as much, use em and enjoy them.
You got spares, they prolly will be just fine.:beerchug:

After a year sitting apart I got a friend who works at a metal shop to take some of the 317 deck to work and blast and prime it. I sent the deck, the 3 reinforcing plates and the 2 pieces that bolt underneath. I didn't send any of the smaller parts for fear some of them would get lost. I brushed a coat of yellow on the underside of the deck and sprayed what I had of a can of yellow on the outside but need to get some Cub Yellow (or close) to finish the outside. I've got the new bearings in, the spindles mounted, the blades sharpened and torqued, and the baffle and other piece(?) on. When I took this apart I had to cut some of the bolts off. I have been salvaging what I could of the hardware at the grinder with a wire wheel. I haven't been able to locate any "Short Neck Carriage Bolts" locally but did see some at fastenal's website. Now I need to get out there and clean up the rest of those parts.

Looks good Cannon51. I just buy a bunch of grade 8 China bolts at TSC. I like the look of them against the yellow. I'm sure some grass and stuff will catch on them but it doesn't affect the cut.

This project is approaching the 2 year mark. Today I got the small sandblaster and the 4 inch cup brush out and worked on the rest of the small parts. I got them cleaned up and sprayed with primer. I used some wire and a push mower for a drying rack. I've got to many half done projects around here, every time I buy something I start on it and quit what I was working on. Still have the spindle covers and gage wheel brackets to do.

I got the small parts painted and on the deck yesterday. I used the old hardware on most of the parts but the pieces where the head was behind the baffle I used new hex head bolts. I got the spindle covers wire brushed and sanded. Probably won't paint anything today since it in the 40's here. I took the gauge wheel assembly apart. Looks like I need some new wheel bolts, I remember buying 2 of these for my other 48 inch deck and crying all the way home. One of the dog bones is twisted, I haven't figured out how I will go about straightening it yet. With the paint on I can see that it was pitted worse than I thought it was. I started out using whatever yellow Rustolum I had and ended up using "Tuscan Sun" to finish the deck shell and small parts. It's not as good a match as I hoped it would be.

Stick it in a press and have at it. :biggrin2:

No Press. I'll have to come up with a redneck solution.:bigthink:
